Now that I always keep a large batch (often a double batch) of the Whole Wheat Quick Mix on hand, I have been so grateful for the time it saves me in meal preparation. And let’s be real (since, after all, the upcoming book this recipe is featured in is called Oh, For Real): I really like that having this mix on hand saves my brain energy. Who really wants to think about the process of making pancakes when there are so many other things to think about?

These pancakes require three little ingredients. I can make these in my sleep…which, without a doubt, is something that I have done.

I made a crumble for the top of my oven french toast from my home made pancake mix. Just melted butter, succanat, some mix, and some spices. The family says it was delicious. I didn’t taste because . . . it’s complicated. But they liked it! It was easy. I have always used Betty Crocker Pancakes recipe to make my mix, substituting healthy ingredients as I go, and I often add nuts or oats and other grains–whatever I have on hand when am making it.

I’ve never made pancakes in my sleep, though my regular recipe is so easy (white whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, milk, eggs and coconut oil), I probably could. I think I have made brownies in my sleep though. Our church has been having fish fries every Friday this lent and brownies are my go to dessert to bring. In fact, last Friday I made a second batch so my husband could bring some to poker.

I made your quick baking mix the other day and made this pancake recipe its awesome! I added a couple handfuls of spinach to the food processor when I was making the pancake batter and it was a great addition to a fabulous recipe! Thank you for this simple recipe Laura. It will be one that will always be living in the freezer. The baking mix recipe will be super helpful to have on hand when baby number 2 arrives in August! THANK YOU!

I finally was able to make half a batch- used the wisk attachment on my kithenaide, worked great. Now I’m anxious to try the mix. Do you take it out of the freezer and move it to the fridge over night? I’ve seen posts that it’s hard right out of the freezer?
